Questions about wheels for S-class

I have a few questions about fitting 20" wheels on a '02 S class...specifically the rears. Want to intall 20x8.5 with 245/35/20 for the front and 20x10 with 275/30/20 in the rear. Will 20x10's fit on the rear without any modifications? I was told by one place that the fenders would need to be rolled to fit the rear wheels...is that true? Also what offset should be used for the front and the rears if we go with this setup?

Thanks for any help.

No takers on this question? Maybe I posted in the wrong forum.

Can I get a Mod to move this post if I'm in the wrong place to the Tires, Wheels, and Suspension forum

Thanks,

There is a 2002 S55 sitting in Evosport with that combo in it. Lowered too. Supposedly no fender rolling. They didn't do it but if you call them, maybe they can tell you.

OK?

20x10 sounds OK to me without the fender rolling. It also depends on the brand of the wheels you are getting and the offset (some one has very low offset).

Could you tell me which wheels you got?

i have 20x9 for my front and 20x10 for the back and the car is lowered. Yes the wheels would fit but when u hit bumps the tires will rub a little bit against the fenders in the back. Rolling your fenders will prevent it to happen as often. I had to do some cutting inside the fender so virtually it rarely rubs now...
